Toyota 4Runner Change Vehicle

"The brakes on this unit are subject to seizing and premature brake failure. The dealer said that they need to be services regularly."

"Front calipers were "sticking" and required replacement at dealer"

"Left front brake caliper cylinder was hanging up, and not properly retracting resulting in uneven pad & rotor wear. Probably attributed to my multiple off-road trips to the Outer Banks, NC. Ended up having to replace both calipers, and of course the rotors, and brake pads. Total cost about $450"

"Expensive repair with Toyota parts. Around $800 for parts I believe"

"Calipers on front left has seized twice in past year"

"have routine maintenance and regular inspection of this system. Problem should have been detected befor expensive repain was necessary"

"Left caliper was sticking. This was the original caliper. The symptom was uneven braking"

"Both rear calipers were found to be not functioning when routine pad replacement was done"

"I needed a $1000 repair to fix my front brakes. They said something about the part failed that engages the rotors to the pads"

"Premature seizure of 2 calipers, had to replace... no point in keeping faded rotors as that would have led to vibration etc. so replaced them (4) as well"

"Rear caliper was sticking a bit causing a burnt smell and a chugging feeling on acceleration. Easy fix and the car is working very well"

"Master cylinder failed. Couldn't use brakes"

"Brake pedal depressed to the floor. Brakes worked, but not properly"

"Local automotive repair replaced calipers, and brakes at a substantial savings over going to Toyota."

"This car has been great. It has required minimal maintenance and when required, prices are reasonable."

"Changed my brake pads"

"Needed new brake pads. Problem solved."

"Routine wear and tear with LA freeway driving demands, standard full maintenance and brake relining to ensure maximum safety"

"original breaks needed replacing"

"replace pads"

"Different braking release points"

"I experienced a modest vibration in the steering wheel when I applied the brakes to slow down when traveling at a highway speed, from about 55 mph to get to a stop or slow to 25 or so. I took the car to a repair shop of trust, and they examined the"

"Was not installed correct"

"Premature brake wear probably due to additional weight of the 4 wheel drive transfer case and differential"

"Rotors on all four wheels wore unevenly. I replaced with newer and the new rotors."

"third time rotors replaced on rear wheels"

"Needed replacing"

"Rotors and pads went bad due hung up caliper"

"Rotors were warped and had to be milled flat"

"Needed replacement"

"it was just normal wear"

"normal brake wear"

"Probably a side result of the premature brake wear"

"squeaked when you applied brakes. Had them replaced. Normal wear and tear"

"engineering defects, by design, at the beginning of the pedal push break pads are 80% full, many owners complain, thinking to go with ceramic"

"many of interior parts in rear fall off easily or do not stay on. around 6th & 7th seat hardware, corner access covers, seatbelt hardware covers"

"Paint on roof and hood faded cracked pealed. Vehicle always kept outside. Vehicle in hot Houston sun for first 6 years. Fading appeared in 10th year or 2017. Only top surfaces affected."

"Paint on hood was cracking and fading."

"As with all Japanese autos the paint is cracking in blisters leaving "holes" in the paint. I use touch up paint and do it about monthly."

"Hood paint oxidized suddenly."

"Clear coat started peeling about a year ago on roof and more recently on hood."

"Slight chalking"

"Finish is peeling off all 4 tire rims"

"Super white paint is fading. I have had Toyotas al my life and this is the first to fade"

"The non-metal areas scratch very easily. The car looks at scratched up in these areas, meanwhile, the rest of the car is pristine"

"paint on the roof and hood is peeling, partly due to sap from a tree in my front yard"

"paint coming off wheels"

"need new paint job"

"The rear hatch is rusting internally. Rust marks come out via the holes used to mount the trim. Not very serious."

"Rust forming around trim pieces & rear door latch. This appears to be a common problem. This vehicle is well maintained & the previous owners appeared to take good care of it. This definitely should not be happening"

"Surface rust on the tailgate"

"Rust caused hole in rear lift gate"

"Rust appears around windows AND UNDERCARRIAGE"

"Rust on rear door started about a year ago. Problem has not been resolved"

"Several areas of exterior body are starting to rust. May be due to living in Colorado with road mag chloride"

"Paint bubbled up and now is rusting. Hard to find anyone willing to take on the project of sanding and repainting"

"On tailgate on each side of long metal toyota emblem there is rust. obviously casued by the metal logo rubbing against paint on the corners of the logo. noticed in first year but had get fixed before it got too bad and ugly - in shop now in fact"

"Very small bits of rust popped thru the paint on the tailgate. We've had it repaired"

"There are a few rust spots on the tailgate on the vehicle near the license plate. The car is garaged, is regularly washed, and is waxed yearly. Other 4Runner owners have the same problems, Toyota dealer didn't really bother, saying "it's normal.""

"Rust develops on the back swing gate door. Small rust spots on either side of the window"

"Left taillight would randomly cut out. Associated with the headlight problem. Pulling/reinstalling headlight low beam bulb got things working again. Just replaced headlight bulb to see if that solves the problem"

"Brake light switch failed"

"LED stop light on the back spoiler dosen't work"

"Various lights have burned out"

"Lights on the dash light up and there is nothing wrong with that problem. They try to fix it and charge ever time but it is never resolved"

"The gas gauge does not always work and sometimes sticks at 0 when the tank is 1/4 full or less."

"LED LIGHTS when out on the THE GAS AND TEMP MOMITER"

"Low beams have never adequately illuminated the road. Bulbs burn out too frequently. Exterior headlight lenses yellow quickly, requiring frequent restoration. This is especially problematic due to the fact that the lights are too dim when the lenses are clear"

"Left headlight would randomly cut out. Pulling/reinstalling the low beam bulb got it working again, until the next time. Still tracking down problem. Just replaced bulb to see if that solves it"

"The dashboard light failed and I cannot see the time or the temperate. The shop said it would be very expensive to replace"

"One half of the dash panel lights that happens to display the clock has burned out. My mechanic said that they would need to replace the whole module and it would be expensive. I have not been to the dealer. It's annoying"

"Interior lights behind console burn out making it difficult (nearly impossible at night) to use the computer and clock"

"One small dash light on my clock/radio went out. Mechanic says it's difficult replace; whole dash has to be taken off."

"The exterior rear lift gate latch cover has melted and will not open. There is no other method to open the rear lift gate other than this latch. The latch is protected from the elements and the part should have a recall issued. Very dissatisfied"

"The ECU for the keyless entry stopped working and will no longer open the door lock actuators. The only way to open the doors is via the driver's side keyed lock"

"Tire pressure sensors are beginning to die. I wasn't aware that they are battery operated and last up to 10 years. They are very expensive to replace ($100 per tire and there are 5)"

"Tire pressure monitors are not efficatious. Some things should remain the responsibility of the vehicle operator. Sensors fail, and the cost to correct is ridiculous (comparable to tire replacement cost). I now drive forever with an illuminated low pressure warning light. I am considering disabling the system. People who can't maintain adequate pressure in their tires shouldn't be allowed to drive. Manufacturers should put their time and money into developing a system that won't let drivers"

"Needs battery in tire pressure sensor"

"Warning light went on. One sensor was bad. Got it fixed then the warning light went on again 3 days later. We just replaced all of them. Not cheap. My 03 4Runner didn't have these sensors."

"The tire pressure gage light comes on and remains on even after ensuring adequate pressure of the tire"

"The monitor is malfunctioned twice and is very expensive to fix"

"Seems to come on when the outside air temp is colder. May just be compression of air?"

"The tire pressure sensors are going out. The tire pressure warning light continues to blink and there is no way to turn it off easily. I placed electrical tape over the blinking light on the dash"

"Brake light in roof b came inoperable"

"mice had made a nest in engine compartment-chewed through wiring and insulation"

"Lights lit up saying my 4 wheel drive was not working, plus a few other lights - have engine checked - turned out to be gas cap wire - it was replaced and all is well since"
